Pat Regain was taken from the Gala
boose to the county hospital yesterday,
being very badly afflicted with the Jim
jams" or, in other words, the delirium
tremens. Pat has been a very unfortu-
nate sort of an individual for a considera-
bic time, and has quite frequently been in
the calaboose and county iail, having been
released from the latter place only a few
days ago. Regain is much addicted to
drink and to such a degree that the appe-
tite for strong drink has got the better of
the unfortunate man, as 1t has of many
a man before him. He was put into the
calaboose two or three days ago, and was
at the time of his incarceration in a very
deplorable condition. During Sunday
and Monday nights he was a raving
maniac and had to be locked in a cell in
order to prevent him from dong great
violence to the other prisoners, he at one
time getting hold of L shovel, with which
he set out to kill the whole gang incar-
cerated in the calaboose with him at the
time.

James Ramsey, alias W. II. Parker,
was arrested and brought before Judge
Fisher Yesterday on complaint of A.
Nichols, charging him with having OBJ
tanned board to the amount and value of
1876 by means of false pretenses. The
hearing in the case was postponed until
this morning at 10 o'clock, and the de-
PENDANT in the meantime not being able
to give bail was held in custody. 1t ia
claimed that Ramsey, who signed his
name on the hotel register as w. H.
Parker, showed to Nichols a fictitious tel
eRram to the effect that certain funds
would be forwarded soon, which induced
Nichols to give Ramsey and his wife
board for the period of two weeks.

Geo. A. Draper, who has Just returned
from Douglas, states that the people oil
that place are not only strongly in hopes
of getting the Cheyenne & Northern

hopes that such will be the case. 1t has
been decided that Douglas will be the
western terminus of the Northwestern

case that fourishing young city will have
IA continued BOOM" which will be very
gratifying to the people not only of that
place, but to the people of Cheyenne
also, who have always felt friendly to
Douglas and its interests.

A Fatal Accident.

CHICAGO. March s.-A terrible acct
dent occurred at the North Chicago rol.
ling mills about 4:30 o'clock this after
noon. At that hour the belt on the big
fy-wheel in the machine shop became
loose and a minute later the fly wheel
flew to pieces, huge fragments of iron be-
ing hurled in every direction. The work
men, a large number of whom were in
the room, were struck with flying missiles
and one of them, Frederick Allen, was so
badly injured that he cannot live. Allen
was struck in the face by a huge chunk
of iron, a horrible wound, which left his
lungs and heart exposed to view, being
inflicted. James Ryan was also badly
injured and may not recover.

Capt. Coleman, schr. Weymouth, ply
ing between Atlantic City and N. Y, had
been troubled with a cough so that he was
unable to sleep, and was induced to try
DR.. Kings New Discovery for Consump-

be furnished with a boiler, from which
steam may be supplied to the cars, and
apparatus for supplying either gas or
electric light. as may be thought best,
after experiments now in progress are
completed.

1T WOULD BE APPROPRIATE.
The Cheyenne Churches Should Hold
Beecher Memorial Services.

The LEADER does not assume to ad-
wise in regard to church matters, but it
will nevertheless venture at this time to
suggest that the pastors and members of
the various churches of Cheyenne ought
to unite in holding memorial services in
honor of the late Henry Ward Bcecher.
The reasons why this would be an appro-
pirate and proper thing to do are too OBJ
vious to require extended mention or
comment. That Mr.. Beecher was the
foremost divine of America there can be
no doubt, and that he was so regarded
by the great mass of the church people of
this county there is scarcely any question.
When a great general dies the old sold
iers meet together and do honor to his
name and memory, and none stop to in
quire as to what was his politics, and
when an eminent divine like Henry Ward
Beecher passes away it would seem that
the people Of all denominations might con-
sistently initiate the example that has
several times been set by the Grand
Army men even here in Cheyenne, and
come together. for the time being at
least, in one undivided brotherhood for
the purpose of doing honor to the mem
ory of the man who of all men on this
continent has done more within the past
quarter of a century to form\the lines and
marshal the hosts under the banner of the
prince of Peace than any other man
who has lived among us during that
time

considerable quantity of smoke disturbed
the serenity of affairs at the Dyer hotel,
and MIR. Sachs. the proprietor, with a
number of employees and others, set
about trying to find where it came from,
for it seemed to pervade the entire house.

AMTEDATINe THE BELL PATENT.
An Italians Claims to the Invention of
the Telephone.

CHICAGO. Jan. 21-The case of the United
States against the Bell Telephone Company,
to test the validity OF the telephone patent
granted to Professor Bell, is made the occasion
of publication here this afternoon as to
some of the points which will be employed
by the Government counsel to combat Pro-
lessor Bells claim to being the inventor of
the telephone.
The Evening Journal, in outlining the ev-
idence, says; There is In the city to-day an
eyed Italian, Antonio Meucci, who, with
counsel, has come West in the telephone in
terest which he represents. Mr.. Meucci was
seen by q Journal reporter this afternoon,
and gave the details Of his case, which, while
hifSed st. have never been published before.
Antonio Meucci is an aged man with white
hair and a nerveless hand. He uses very little
English, and conversed during the interview
in Italian through an interpreter. In his
possession were certified papers from the
Patent Office at Washington, ID. c., and en-
abundance Of afidavits and testimony dat
ing from the year 1862. From the story of
1919 ne was living with his
wife IN the city OF Havana
He was director OF mechanism, while she
was superintendent of the costume depart
mtnt, OF the Tacon Opera-house. During his
leisure moments and in the mornings when
unengsgcd he bad experimented with
electricity and electrical implements He
had theory that disease could be cured by
electricity, and while pursuing the inVesti-
cation of these ideas be had determined to
try the effects on friend. A wire aad bat
terry were connected, there being a complete
circuit. Each wire was connected with
copper plate, which the Italian caused the
man to put into his mouth. Both men were
in different rooms, and the shock to one
caused him to exclsim when he put the cop
per plate into his mouth. Meucci, at the
other end Of the line, had the copper plate
between his teeth and heard the
sound, the communication being through
the medium of the teeth to the
auditory nerve. He continued to experiment
on the discovery. About May /, 1851, he
perfected paper cone and conversed, though
very family, with persons across the street,
using this instrument, membraneous dia-
phragm like that used by the Bell Company
in later years. Meucci soon moved to New
York, where a struggle between poverty and
desire to further his invention interests be-
gan. The history OF the discovery, Is set
forth Ia the long interview, and Meuccis
right to the claim Of priority and his at

PIERCED HIS BRAIN.
A Sixteer- Year-0ld Boy Shot and Killed by One
Of Pinksrton's Men.
The Shooter Arrested and Lodged In Jal by
the Police The Dead Body OF the Boy
Removed to the Morgue.

JERSEY CRY, " j., Jan. 20.-At about 5
o'clock this afternoon while party of boys
was playing in an open lot adjoining the
yards of the Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Railroad Company, a fracas oc-
CURED between the boys and PinkertoR's
men, and Thomas Hogan, sixteen years old,
a lOoker-on, was shot aud killed by one of
Pinkerton's men. The boys were ieering
the Pinkerton men, who were stationed in
the company's yards to protect property.
Occasionally they Iained a shower OF snow
balls and other missiles upon the men. Near
~ crowd of strikers and their
sympathizers were assembled and lent
the leader of the Pinkerton men stepped
forward and ordered the boys to stop throw
ing at them. The boys did not obey, and
almost Immediately three sharp cracks of a
revolver rang out, and Hogan fell dead. The
excitement was intense, and the lookers-on
fed in every direction. The leader OF the
strikers, as soon as he could get his men
together, ordered them back to their head
quarters. In anticipation of an attack. the
Pjnkerton men were at once drawn up in
battle array. The Jersey City police reserve
stationed at the yards hurried to the scene.
An ambulance was summoned and the
body of the dead boy was removed to the
moIgue. Hogan was not one of the party of
boys throwing missiles at the men, but
stood on the opposite side of the street.
Inspector LANCE Immediately collected q
number of witnesses to the shooting aud
marched the Pinkerton men out in line. He
then ordered the witnesses to identity the
men who shot. They at once selected Pat
Shelby, Daniel Cehall and Samuel a. Neil
from the line and identified them as the
men who fired at the boys The Inspector
examined their revolvers and found every
chamber loaded. The men were taken 20
police headquarters and held.
About 0 o'clock tonight the police ar
rested Murphy Morriarity, one Of Pinker-
tons men, as another of the shooters. One
of his eyes was horribly discolored and
swollen where he had been struck with a
SNOWFALL. Another of Pinkerton's men
had a tooth knocked out. The ball that
struck Hogan pierced his brain directly
above the right eye.
The strikers gathered in force around the
city prison, and, to provide against any con-
tiDgency, the four prisoners were taken out,
one st time, and, unobserved, conveyed to
smother station. house.
1t is reported that two Pinkerton special
officers boarded west-bound express train
on the Delaware, Laokawanna and Western
Railroad Immediately after the shooting oc-

The Bohemian Oats Racket.

FoRT WAYNE, Jan. 19-The Bohemian oats
enterprise got black eye in the Superior
Court of Allen County to day. In March,
1885. Martin Brewer, a wealthy German
farmer of this county, purchased of an agent
of the Crawford. Henry and Williams
County, Ohio, Bohemian Oats Company
thrty-six bushels of Bohemian oats. The
contract price was $40 a bushel, for
which Mr.. Brewer gave his notes payable
at the end of a year in the Hamilton Ma
tional Bank of this city. At the time of the
transaction the Bohemian Oats Company gave
Brewer bond STIMULATING that the notes
should not be called for until 100 bushels of
the oats raised by Brewer should be sold for
him by the company at the same rate per
bushel as paid by Brewer. The oats were
aiteTWard sold to an Allen County
farmer named Josephus S. Mason,
who appeared in the light of an innocent
purchaser and brought suit to collect. The
defense brought In plea OF abatement al
legiDg non-performance OF the contract on
the part of the company, and, hence, that
the notes were not due. After eight hours
deliheraiion the jury returned a verdict for
the defense. The Bohemian Oats Company
has lately changed its name to that of the
Ohio and Indiana Seed Company, and has
been Incorporated, with headquarters at
Napoleon, Ohio.
